Startups do not yet have a business model and product that they could focus on, but are still looking for a working business model. Lean Startup is a method for startup management that focuses on quick iteration and on fast learning to find an iterable business model. As a method, Lean Startup is still quite novel. It does not have much scientific literature written about it, but it is used by startups. The two case study companies were both positive about Lean Startup and felt that the method had given them a helpful approach.

They need truthful information to decide if projects should be redirected, cancelled, or strengthened. They need to verify that customer requirements are satisfied and business goals are met.We present a set of tools for executives to monitor the status of ongoing software projects. These tools allow executives that are not experts of software engineering to assess requirements, software architectures, development projects, and development organizations. Our tools, used commonly at Nokia and elsewhere, utilize use cases, views to architecture, frequent builds, and testing statistics. The fact that many projects already utilize these tools for software creation makes it easy to extend their use to serve executives and business management. We explain how managers can use these tools to get information, how to interpret this information, and how to integrate the tools into the interaction between the managers and their project teams.
